  1. A Guide for Making #CommunityGardens #Accessible for all Members

    "This guide uses #UniversalDesign to improve community garden accessibility for all members. It focuses on providing #AccessiblePathways, tools, and planting options, creating opportunities for education, fresh produce, and therapeutic stress relief for people of all abilities.

    This guide, created by Melissa Bravo, aims to enhance community garden accessibility for all members using Universal Design principles. It provides guidance on alterations community gardeners can make, focusing on #AccessibleWalkways (entrances, width, safety, materials), accessories (#ramps, #railings, #signage), water access, planters (raised beds, vertical gardening), #AccessibleTools, and #SensoryGardenPlants. By building accessible gardens, the guide emphasizes providing opportunities for agricultural education, access to locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables, and therapeutic stress relief for people of all abilities through therapeutic horticulture.

    The guide promotes the principles of Universal Design to create environments of #inclusion in community gardens, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to benefit from garden participation. It highlights specific design considerations like operable gate handles, appropriate path widths, and stable surfaces to enable access for people with limited mobility. Appendices offer detailed instructions on accessible features, tools, and sensory garden plants. Ultimately, the guide serves as a resource for gardeners seeking to create inclusive spaces that capture the diversity of their communities."

  2. Come on out & #volunteer for fun #signmaking at #WellandCommunityOrchard with me & others!
    There's 2 days for new signs making work to be done. I'll be there on both days 😊

    Monday, July 21st, 10am-12pm.
    Sunday, July 27th, 1pm-3pm.
    Join in as we start on a new project of creating some beautiful and engaging #signage in the orchard. Together we will be working on sanding, painting and varnishing wooden signs to label each fruit tree in the orchard! Artistic skills are welcome but not required.

    You can register for all volunteer shifts on the Gleaning Hub:
    gleaning.lifecyclesproject.ca/

    The Monday sign making #workparty is followed with an afternoon orchard work party - we need help with pruning fruit trees, weeding & general orchard care duties.

  3. This little building located on a suburban street in #camberwell was once the local butchery - yes just like milk bars, bakeries and mechanics, they were often once a feature in your neighbourhood.

    It has been preserved magnificently and still has the faded description / painted signage on the top of the canopy.

    Brickwork is awesome. It’s a visual hedonist’s and old-age building lover’s delight!
